Spanish term or phrase: Ahorro Escolar
This is a subject in a Colombian Transcript. I'm assuming it would be something like "basic finance." According to this : http://www.confiar.coop/fundacion/index.php?option=com_conte... that's what it sounds like. Anyone seen this before? Is there a concensus?

Financial Education
Explanation:
We don't really have an equivalent in the UK as it seems to involve saving money and through this learning about team work, cooperation etc. Finance is studied in schools and is generally called 'Financial Education' Lots of references to this:

Financial education in schools

The Government has announced financial education will form a part of the compulsory national curriculum for all maintained schools in England. It'll be a part of citizenship for 11-16 year olds and there'll be stronger links to it in maths for all ages.
